Waters nickname

PrintIn Schmuck's blog he reveals Kevin Millar's nickname for Chris Waters ... H2O.
Millar also zinged Markakis for his baserunning 'oops' by not scoring on a single prior to his 3-run homer.
Millar singled in the first run of last night's game, and it would have been two RBI if Nick Markakis had not froze between second and third. Nick was apologetic, but that didn't stop Millar from comically throwing him under the bus.
"Nick did a great job of freezing on that line drive to right field to stay out of the double play,'' Millar said.

That nickname reminds me of the band, who were/are the blink-182 of “hardcore punk.”

Meh...
When your street cred is based on roadieing for Sick of it All…well, I got nothing past that.
I always say follow your dreams...even if they're about a giant spider with your father's head, and he keeps stealing your p*nis!

I'm pretty sure their street cred involves the letters
D, M, and S. I’m not gonna call dudes that roll with Agnostic Front posers.

I will
Well, OK, I won’t call them posers. I don’t think they are, really. But for “hardcore punk” they sure sounded like really fast pop-punk a lot of the time.

But Holy Waters! got some love earlier on this site.
I do kinda like H2O, notwithstanding its poseurpunk origins…

Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.

Give it 2 more starts
That’s a pretty lofty position you’re assigning him….

Well, that 1st inning today
showed why SC thinks y’all are high for thinking Waters should be the #2 in the rotation after just 1 start. That 4 pitch walk to the #2 hitter was UGLY.

Burn!
Dag, yo. Give the man a couple more starts.

I suggest a new rule
No nicknames for a pitcher unless he has:
1) 3 starts
2) 5 relief appearances
Exceptions:
If the player is horrific after one start or relief appearance, a derogatory nickname can be administered.
I've got a million of these
Brdge Over Troubled Water
Smoke on the Water
Muddy Waters
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
Kee-ripes, what's gonna happen when we have Waters pitching to Weiters?
An Unholy Alliance, if I ever heard one.
